Sorry. Here's why (Theo?):

Hello,

Our engineers recently discovered a malfunctioning network switch that resides behind your slice(s) located in our STL-B data center.

To avoid any further interruptions, we will be replacing the switch immediately.

During this time, you may see a period of intermittent connectivity for 1-2 minutes while we work to resolve this issue.

We apologize for the short notice and any problems this may cause you. Unfortunately, this is the best course of action to prevent future problems.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we deal with this issue. Thank you for your support!

Kind Regards,
Slicehost Support
